This! Only those of the community, collaboratively people in food poverty and food growers, will make sustainable land use decisions ready for the future. #naturefriendlyfoodforall #REGENERATIVEAGRICULTURE @CormacRussell @EWestaway @NFFNUK @Foodincommun @PollenizeCIC
Our CEO @suepritch talks about our work piloting a #LandUseFramework in Devon & Cambridgeshire.
"Land use changes are going to happen... these big questions are best understood, mediated & prioritised in the communities that have to try to make them work now and in the future."

Did you know today is National Daisy Day?🌼
It’s not just one flower it’s actually over 100! Each petal is an individual flower and the yellow centre is made of hundreds of tiny flowers.

Trump did not cause the climate crisis - it was already locked in. But he will massively accelerate it. On #politicslive yesterday.

Use this image from now on whenever you see Big Oil agents, bots or enablers using the tired "But the ambulances..!" talking point to push for the arrest of #ClimateAction activists blocking roadways. 😠

Finally reading this by @CormacRussell with a view to it providing an insight for us here and our fellow farmers. Can we make it work in dispersed rural communities? 🤞🌿 #StrongNotWrong #FarmingWithNature #FarmingForCommunity #RuralConnectors

The most grim plankton compilation video I've made. This should only be a beautiful world of microlife. Instead it's a microplastic-polluted, horror movie. Beauty and the beast. @zeiss_micro

As the temperatures start to drop our amphibian and reptile friends will be seeking warmer places to hide away. 🐸 🐍
You can help by building your very own hibernaculum in your garden! "A what?!" we hear you ask? A hibernaculum is a place where an animal seeks refuge!

Worst year ever for butterflies (no surprise). Yes to finally banning neonicotinoids but a reminder that neonics are widely available in bug sprays from garden centres and supermarkets for home use. "No exceptions" means banning them too @savebutterflies theguardian.com/environment/…

If anyone tells you that cities with huge amounts of cycling and public transport are a). impossible b). too expensive c). too complicated etc etc, well greetings to them all from a rooftop in #Utrecht. 40,000 bicycles use this junction EVERY DAY. #nowtellmeitsimpossible

This is not good

This is very disappointing and, at the end of the day, it's a false economy...
...because nature friendly farming boosts the economy, reduces flood risk, supports food production, and is good for the nation's health

Here is a fascinating paper about the potential of depaving a large urban area (in Melbourne) to boost biodiversity, mental health, the local economy, reduce flooding and dementia and much more. Essential reading for urban planners: nature.com/articles/s42949-0…

What’s the hexagonal structure in the photo, taken during a recent glean? It’s a bug hotel, installed on this organic farm to support insects pollinating food crops as part of @TNLComFund project Abundant Life.
